Event Details
Book now to attend this important industry event and hear from key players in this sector, Equinor, KBR, The Carbon Trust, ORE Catapult, Pilot Renewables, Senvion, Eolfi, Principle Power Inc and EIC.
Delegates will discover where there are opportunities for the Oil and Gas sector to use its expertise to diversify, win work and drive the industry forward.
The past 12 months has seen the FOW sector progress rapidly towards commercialisation. The sector is moving quickly from the R&D stage to deployment of full-scale turbine arrays. The UK is one of the few pioneers of the technology. Last year the world’s first floating offshore wind farm was commissioned in the Scottish North Sea, Equinor's (Statoil) 30MW HYWIND project.
Under the right conditions, FOW could be a significant driver supporting the energy transition. Floating platforms open up vast wind resources that are not accessible using bottom-fixed platforms. Many countries and regions, such as Japan and California, don’t have suitable conditions for conventional foundations. This means a successful FOW sector could quickly turn into a global industry, with UK companies at the centre driving the growth.
The EIC’s FOW Showcase will give you the opportunity to hear from leading developers, including Equinor and Pilot Renewables, the owners of Kincardine (set to begin construction later this year).
There will also be a chance to hear about the key technical challenges and the support available for innovation from two of the UK organisations that are driving advances in FOW: The Carbon Trust and ORE Catapult. Leading turbine manufacturer Senvion will also provide an overview of plans to deploy its technology on floating projects.
Whether you're already involved in FOW projects or are exploring new opportunities in this emerging global market, this is an unmissable event to hear all the latest sector news and meet the biggest players.
